‘Futurama’ Returns June 23rd, And Upcoming Episode Previews

Matt Groening and David X. Cohen’s subversive animated sci-fi comedy “Futurama” returns with all new episodes beginning Thursday, June 23 at 10:00 p.m. on Comedy Central!

Comedy Central will kick off the new “Futurama” season in style with two new episodes airing back-to-back.

In the premiere episode, “Neutopia,” the Planet Express crew crash-lands on an unknown world, where they encounter a bizarre alien who is unfamiliar with the concept of gender. The creature subsequently conducts a series of experiments, modifying the crew members’ sexual characteristics in strange and wondrous ways.

In the second episode, “Benderama,” Bender gains the power of infinite self-replication, producing a vast horde of smaller and smaller Benders. Comedian Patton Oswalt guest-stars as “Unattractive Giant Monster,” a repulsive alien who is extremely sensitive about his appearance. When the giant’s feelings are hurt by the people of Earth, it is up to Bender and his minions to fend off the giant’s attack in an epic battle of Good vs. Ugly.

Special guest stars this season include Patton Oswalt, Dan Castellaneta, Stephen Hawking, and Buzz Aldrin. The show’s entire original voice cast will be returning, including stars Billy West, Katey Sagal and John DiMaggio.
